Game Overview
What is Hearth and Hamlet?
Hearth and Hamlet is a cozy incremental medieval city builder developed by Phorust Studios. Players begin with little more than a campfire and gradually automate resource gathering, assign workers, construct increasingly advanced buildings and transform a frontier settlement into a thriving kingdom.
Kingdom management extends beyond construction through technology research, taxation and civic policies, foreign trade, military defense, magic and alchemy. Its incremental structure allows resources to build over time while still rewarding efficient production chains and well-timed upgrades.
